Our mission & vision
The Make NGO Program enables organizations dedicated to advancing social and environmental causes to scale their impact. We support non-partisan, cause-based entities by providing the platform and credits needed to automate manual tasks. By prioritizing missions with a broad community reach—including those in under-resourced areas - we help you reclaim time to drive long-term, positive change.


Purpose & Benefits
If selected, we'll provide you with a one-year Make Pro plan with 40,000 operations per month. By streamlining your processes, you can save time and fully focus on bringing your vision of a better world to life. You'll join a vibrant community of NGOs and our Make ecosystem for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and resource exchange to fully leverage the power of Make.

FAQs
Still unsure if the Make for NGOs Program is the right fit for your organization? Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Please chat to our team.
What if my NGO doesn’t meet all the eligibility criteria?
To uphold the principles of our program, we can only accept organizations that meet all the established criteria. If your organization doesn’t meet these requirements, we encourage you to explore our free plan or consider our paid options to find the best fit for your needs.
Why don’t you support NGOs with political or religious affiliations?
We prioritize neutrality to maintain broad accessibility and fairness for all organizations. As part of this commitment, we do not offer free licenses to organizations with political or religious affiliations to ensure impartiality and avoid any potential bias.
Can schools and universities apply?
Currently, our program does not extend to schools or educational institutions. However, if you're a school or university interested in teaching no-code and automation skills, we encourage you to explore our Make Academic Alliance offering.
Which email should I use to apply, and do I need a Make account?
Please apply using the email address associated with your active Make account. If you don't have one yet, simply create a free account first. We recommend waiting two days after sign-up before submitting your NGO application to ensure your account status has synced across our systems.
How long does it take to get a decision on my application?
We aim to review applications within a few working days. You’ll receive an email once we’ve made a decision.
Can I reapply if my application was rejected?
Yes. If your NGO didn’t meet the criteria before but now does, you’re welcome to reapply.
How do I renew the free license after 12 months?
You will receive reminder emails one month and one week before the expiration date of your license. These emails will contain a direct link to reapply. As long as our eligibility criteria remain the same and your organization’s status as an NGO hasn't changed, you can submit your reapplication through that link to extend your license.
What are the requirements for a license renewal?
Renewals are granted provided you continue to meet our eligibility criteria, though please note that all renewals are granted at our sole discretion. During the reapplication process, we may ask you to furnish updated documentation to verify your Non-governmental Organization (NGO) status or other supporting evidence of your eligibility.
What does the free NGO license include?
You’ll get a 12-month Pro plan with 40,000 operations per month. For a full breakdown of what’s included, check out our pricing page
What happens if we go over 40,000 operations?
Any additional operations beyond the limit will need to be purchased. You can find more details on our pricing page.
Can I request more than 40,000 operations per month?
The NGO license includes 40,000 operations per month, and we’re unable to offer more under this program. If you need additional operations, you’ll need to purchase them separately.
Does Make typically offer refunds for NGOs?
Generally, no. Our NGO program is designed to provide future support through a free 12-month license. Refunding current or past subscription fees is typically outside the scope of this program.
Where can I find resources to help me get started?
Check out Make Academy and Make Community, they’re packed with tutorials, guides, and expert tips to help you automate like a pro.
How can I contact support?
